Is there a place to get a good drink around here? Specifically, beer?

I don't mean any of the watered-down stuff that Americans are used to, either.

I'm working at the bar right now if you want to come by.

[bornwithskison]

...So he told you.

After. We weren't ourselves before.

[wafels]

[Not looking up, hey, this beer tastes really good] Y-yeah, he did. I saw him with all the tulips for Canada.

...and that makes sense.

[bornwithskison]

What'd he do to that kid?

The idiot pretended to be Danmark which made him deserve it, if it makes any sense.

[wafels]

You'll have to ask him that. [She knows, but. She's not drunk enough to tell yet.] He just had what seemed like truckloads of them - he told me that the Tulip Festival was being celebrated early.

Why would he pretend to be Denmark? [Another drink. She's going to need more of these.]

[bornwithskison]

Tulip... Festival? You'd think he'd have a giant fan festival instead.

Knowing him? To toy with my emotions.

[wafels]

No, the Tulip Festival is a really big thing in the Netherlands every year.

I didn't know you two were close enough for him to care about doing that sort of thing.

[bornwithskison]

And... Other things, I imagine. I envy you for having the patience to put up with him.

People don't expect a lot of things, actually.

[wafels]

Oh. ...right. W-well, that was the candy, so I don't think how you felt beforehand matters.

Sometimes I don't feel like I do.

[bornwithskison]

This town... It knows how to tick all of us on.

You have the skill to put up with annoying brothers. I just know how to put up with annoying Danes.

[wafels]

I thought you and Denmark got along really well, though. Isn't he important to you?

[This bottle is almost empty. That may not be a good sign.]

[bornwithskison]

[Congratulations, you got him to smile at work]

...I'm that obvious? Yeah. He is. It's hard for me to believe he's not here anymore, but I'm getting over it. The stupid oaf wouldn't want me to beat myself up over it.

[wafels]

[And she'll return it] Yeah, I'm sure he wouldn't. I don't know about people being here before, but some people have come back, right?

It's good to have people you care about.

[bornwithskison]

No one that I know, but I've been here before from what some people say. I just don't remember.

You have your brother and I have mine.

[wafels]

Huh. I wonder if we've all been here before. That'd be really strange.

He is my brother, even if he drives me crazy sometimes. I bet yours does, too.

[bornwithskison]

It's something to think about, isn't it?

Actually, I think I drive him crazy every now and then.
